Patrat #111/135 -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Patrat from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of the two Patrat cards from this set that I'll be reviewing.  This Patrat card is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to fighting type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  This Patrat card does not have an Ability but unlike yesterday's card, it does have two moves.  The first move this card has is called Collect, the move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to draw a card.  Patrat's second move is called Slam, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 20 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip two coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Patrat is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Watchog, which I'll be reviewing in the next two days (there are two Watchog cards in this set), you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed those cards yets, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So on its own, this Patrat card wouldn't be much better  than yesterday's Patrat card, even though this card has one more move, it can really do about the same amount of damage on average, and this card is actually slower than yesterday's card if you want to attack using this card and do some damage.  So I would not include this Patrat card in a deck if I were you and I would actually recommend using the other Patrat if you're forced to use one.  With that being said, if you do have this card in your deck, you'll want to use Slam when you can since Collect doesn't do any damage.  But of course, if you only have one energy card attached to Patrat you'll have no other option than to use Collect.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average basic Pokemon card.  I am actually rating this card lower than yesterday's Patrat card, even though this card has two moves, I think yesterday's Patrat card with only the one move is better.  I can not wholeheartedly recommend either of them, but if you have to use one of them, use yesterday's card.
